However some points that let it down: particularly post covid I would expect, as a minimum, mattress and pillow protectors on the beds. Our mattress was filthy and blood stained and the bed linen was not as clean as it should have been and the bed throw was dirty and tatty . There was no hot water in either the hand basins or the kitchen sink with no instructions how to remedy that. The TV was disconnected. The whole place would benefit from snagging especially in areas where excess grout has not been removed and poor finish in places etc. No indication of where to dispose of rubbish. There were large bins at the back but none of the keys we had unlocked them. The plumbing has very little water pressure and as a minimum I think the toilet flushes need improving. The kitchen is missing a couple of essentials eg teaspoons and chopping board and some of the pans need replacing. It is a shame the above points mar what is otherwise a very comfy accommodation.

We had a problem with the toaster the first day as it tripped out all the sockets. We managed to get the fuse box opened and put switch back on. We reported it and the next day they came with a new toaster. Which was great. The only thing we found there was only one teaspoon but for the two of us so it was fine but if there were more people they may need more. We would stay there again.

It had everything we needed, a very comfortable home from home. It was in a good location for us being just outside Dungarvan enjoying some good restaurants and close to family. I do feel that the property has a few issues with the plumbing as the sinks took a while to drain and the toilets took several flushes. Also, we couldn't get the television to work. Apart from this, my family thoroughly enjoyed our week at the cottage.
